Report: Mitt Romney T-shirt miffs Pa. teacher

A Philadelphia high school geometry teacher is under investigation by school administrators after reportedly ordering a student to remove a Mitt Romney T-shirt and comparing it to a Ku Klux Klan sheet.

For last Friday’s dress-down day at Charles Carroll High School, where uniforms are normally worn, one female student donned a T-shirt supporting the GOP presidential nominee and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, but according to her father, she was told to take it off, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“[A] teacher made some comments to a student wearing a Romney T-shirt in their classroom,” Philadelphia School District spokesman Fernando Gallard told the Inquirer. “The comments were of a political nature, and also of a personal nature. We are looking into the comments, and the conduct of the teacher.”

The student’s dad told Philadelphia radio station 106.9 FM on Wednesday that the teacher likened the shirt to a KKK sheet, threatened to strike through Romney and Ryan’s name with a marker and tried to kick the student out of class, according to the Inquirer.

“She was expressing her freedom of speech and was not in violation of any school or district policy,” Gallard said.

We all know only rich people deserve an education, health care, food, etc... Without rich people the working class slobs would just aimlessly wander. That is why on the eighth day God created the billionaire. So someone would be able to make the sacrifices of watching people lose their life savings to the poor judgement of other rich people. Then the anguish they must suffer watching a mother that has a child starving or dieing without health care while trying to keep caviar down while dining with Mitt at $50k a plate. But we all know it is those darn union workers, how dare they want to make a living with the degree they have earned.

It was another nine years before Republicans got Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act, and ten for the Voting Rights Act. Democrats like senators Albert Gore, Sr., William Fulbright, and one-time KKK kleagle Robert Byrd fought against both until the bitter end. Across the south, segregationist Democrat governors like George Wallace, Lester "Axe-handle" Maddox, Ross Barnett, and Ernest Hollings ruled with iron fists. Even the Supreme Court was stained by a racist Democrat. Hugo Black, like Byrd, was a former KKK zealot. As a Democrat senator, he even led a filibuster against an anti-lynching measure. A staunch supporter and ally of FDR, he was appointed to the Supreme Court, and wrote the opinion supporting FDR's racist interment of Japanese Americans during WWII
